If you're just interested in getting your feet wet download the Robinhood app. It's fine for investing a few thousand and learning the ropes.

Plenty of good brokerages out there, but they charge fees for transactions generally and that isn't worth it in the beginning.

I am not the Rockefellers so I only go for stuff that's between 1-10 dollars generally. I only sell puts and calls so I may or may not be holding the following at any given time:
VBIV
PRTY
AMPE
NGD
RIOT
FCEL
DGLY
TRVN
VBIV
FSM
MNKD
ATNM
MUX
FCEL
MVIS
NAK

I've made returns despite not really knowing what the fuck I'm doing, but I feel like it's probably the same for everyone who started trading around March. Now I'm just waiting for the market to unleash horrible realities on all us filthy retail traders once everything balances out.

I don't usually buy much individual stocks these days, but I bought some Unity (U) on IPO day in my Roth IRA and that's done pretty well. Also ESPPs in my employer but I'm not doxing myself.

That's not really true anymore. Practically every retail brokerage now has zero commission on stock trades. Robinhood is a toy IMO, fine for playing around with a small amount but I wouldn't put any real money on it.

So, I just got into trading penny stocks, been using Robinhood because it's an easy entry in, any suggestion on brokerages I should look into instead?

Personally I like Fidelity. I've heard good things about Charles Schwab. There are a lot of brokerages out there, and I don't know much about penny stock trading so I'm not sure if those are the best for that. Though I do know that penny stocks tend not to be listed on the major exchanges so you might want to make absolutely sure that whatever brokerage you choose doesn't charge commissions for the kinds of trades you usually make.

Hmm, if I'm ever successful enough to get into full stock trading I'll give those a look. Thanks!

It's been a rough couple of months for traders. Basically we've traded flat since about the end of August. October was officially the worst month since March and I believe last week was the worst week since March. If you bought in at the top in August you're probably down about 5-8% on a tech heavy portfolio.

Last Thursday, the "Super Bowl" for tech stocks, earnings on FAANG signaled that even on an EPS expectations beat, forward guidance (or lack of given fears of a 2nd lockdown) isn't convincing big investors (so the people that matter to us retail as we can only react) aren't convinced these current evaluations (eg AAPL 2 trillion market cap) are justified. Even in a TINA (there is no other alternative) market with seemingly unlimited QE. If nothing else, we are in a consolidation period where trends will be short lived at best and wild swings should be expected even hour to hour -- as we saw Thursday and Friday. The last ten minutes of the Thursday and Friday sessions were absolutely extraordinary: On Thursday we dropped about a half point; on Friday we gained about 2/3 of a point. Incredible volume from big players setting the market. If you had options and didn't take profit, you might have seen a 50% or even 75% swing in your fortune if the expiration was weekly.

I don't really have a lot of tickers I'd feel good about holding right now, at least not until after the election is settled. Any sort of contested election and we will plunge 1-2% a day next week. The only real bullish play I have tech wise is CRSR and even they will just get swept up in a bear frenzy. VIX and the other volatility measures are elevated so one play might shorting volatility -- especially if you think Biden will win in a landslide.

Banks are pretty strong right now as people are fleeing from tech. With rates so low banks will do OK even if they suffer losses in lending, which is pretty disgusting but whatever. Too big to fail I guess.

Happy trading.

While I'm depressed about the election my portfolio is going absolutely insane today. Up 4.6% overall today with Xiaomi up 7-8%.
